Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: inRoute at every 2 weeks against TripTic's every 3 months. inRoute also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 2) and chart position (#44 vs unranked). TripTic's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. inRoute sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and TripTic sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings
